Sideboard lock cards usually wont stop the opponent from drawing and playing most of their cards, and theres plenty of interesting back-and-forth to be had trying to protect or remove them

The expected value calculation is up on the prices page (minus collector boosters which will be coming soon once we add in the Commander Precon cards that were just previewed) and the biggest takeaway is that the set is currently massively overpriced with the expected value of a draft booster box coming in at $208 and a set booster box at $305
